Chapter 91: A Night of Guarding the Instruments (Belated Extra Update)...

There is only one last question left.

Ye Xuan felt that the time was about right, and the interactive activities launched temporarily would not take up much of the players’ gaming time, so he could just treat it as an unexpected surprise.

"Now, please invite our fifth lucky audience member, who is also the last audience member to ask questions in this event, to ask me the questions you want to ask!" He stretched out his right arm, and the light beam did not shine directly and accurately on the audience in the audience as before, but shone on many people here and there.

Even though they already knew the winner, many viewers still felt nervous that they might be the one chosen.

Finally, the light quieted down and stopped above one player's head, completely covering him.

“Oh my, I don’t know how lucky I am to be here today. I didn’t expect to be a lucky audience member, hahaha.” Audience No. 5’s appearance and speech were a bit inconsistent, but the player himself quickly explained the reason, “I’m a power leveler and I’m so lucky. I don’t know how much my clients must regret not coming to do daily tasks in person, hahahaha.”

Everyone present tried to put themselves in the perspective of the power leveler and the account owner respectively, and then thought about it together. Although it was not appropriate, they still laughed out loud.

This situation was also discussed on the channel.

"Fortunately, I never hire a power player. If this had happened to me, I would regret it just thinking about it."

"That's not the case. I think it's a pity. But the owner of the account may not want to participate in this interactive activity."

"It seems that users who did not successfully participate in the event but have passed level 3 in the real-person NPC section of the official forum can redeem consolation prizes. Although the owner of the account did not come, the account did. If you meet the criteria, you can't get the prize, which is quite a loss."

"What prize? Where did you get the news?"

"I have a friend who is online and said that the updates released by the official account are definitely correct."

Ye Xuan was just casually browsing the channel. After all, viewer number five was still immersed in joy, and he couldn't think of any questions to ask for a while.

He was also stunned when he saw the prizes and the official account, and then he realized that it must be someone in the company who discovered that he had turned on the interactive mode.

With the cooperation of his colleagues, he felt more confident that his decision to start the interaction was correct.

Moreover, occasional surprises can increase players' daily activity and enhance the game's revenue to a certain extent.

Ye Xuan felt that his operation was truly extraordinary. It wouldn't be too much to get a bonus when he returned, right?

Moreover, the so-called consolation prizes are probably just small props that do not affect the balance of the game but are sufficient to express the company's thoughts, and will not cause any losses to the company.

If the audience hadn't finally thought of the content of his question, he would probably continue to think about it.

"This is my last question." Audience No. 5 looked around and found himself the focus of the crowd. "This is my last question. I just want to ask, is it easy to be a real-person NPC?"

Ye Xuan was stunned.

It's not like he hadn't thought about the possibility of someone asking such a question, but he hadn't figured out how to answer it.

He is a real-life NPC who has changed career paths lately. He has never received any formal training, and no one has guided him step by step.

Apart from a rarely used "Real Person NPC Mission Manual", he basically explored things independently.

Not only is the real-life NPC a completely new profession for him, the holographic game is also a strange world for him.

Audience member number 5 saw that he did not answer for a while, thinking that his question was too abrupt, and hurriedly said: "I don't mean anything else. I'm just a game leveler, and I make a living by playing games. I don't usually get in touch with the behind-the-scenes developers of the game. The real NPC guy is the staff closest to us, right? I just asked casually..."

Ye Xuan certainly couldn't let the player fall into embarrassment, and immediately replied: "No, this question is nothing. I'm just thinking that whether a job is good or not is not something I can judge by myself. Even if there are few real NPCs in the entire game market now, I can't easily answer 'good' or 'bad' based on my own feelings. Sorry."

After saying this, he felt a little uneasy. The last precious opportunity to ask questions could be said to have been wasted. He didn't provide any useful information at all. Would it cause dissatisfaction among the players?

Unexpectedly, audience number 5 just laughed: "It's okay, it's okay. I was just thinking about whether I could find a better job besides power leveling in the future and compete with you for your job."

It sounds like a joke, but maybe this person really meant it that way.

Ye Xuan didn't know how to respond, so he just wished the other party good luck in his work, gave a closing speech for the event according to the template he remembered, and then quickly closed the interactive mode.

Although the ending was a bit hasty, the overall effect is still pretty good.

…

Ye Xing wandered back to the search team. Although there were so many players in the event, there were not that many people walking on the streets in the map.

"Senior, you're back." Xiao Qin's eyes were shining, and his speech was faster than usual, with a bit of indescribable urgency.

"What's wrong?" It was the first time that Ye Xuan saw the other person's bright eyes and he found it fresh.

"The captain of the monitoring equipment team is here, and we can conduct outdoor tests tomorrow!" It was rare to see Xiao Qin so excited, even his tone became heavier.

Ye Xuan nodded: "That's great!"

He was also happy because he had been treating these patients for a long time. Thinking that everything would be almost settled after the test, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

This may be one of the fun of the game.

"Moreover," Xiao Qin had not yet finished telling the good news, "the patients in the two treatment rooms are almost cured, and all their physical values ​​are almost the same as those of healthy people. Senior, your treatment is amazing."

There was unconcealable admiration and respect in the boy's eyes.

When Ye Xuan heard this, he thought it was a pleasant surprise.

Although he estimated that he would be able to completely cure the patient in the near future, he did not expect that he had only started an interactive activity, and the treatment was basically completed after he returned.

"Then I'll go and make some preparations." Ye Xuan hadn't forgotten about the traitor, but now he couldn't find the person, so he had to take it one step at a time, "try to get the patients 'discharged' as soon as possible."

"Okay, senior." Xiao Qin also had his own things to do, so he didn't say much, "I'll go try out the monitoring equipment."

Looking at Xiao Qin's gradually receding back, Ye Xing felt that avoiding a head-on conflict with the neighboring research institute might be a simpler approach.

It's a pity that they had already fallen out, so this time won't matter.

As long as we can cure the infected people before those people in the neighboring city cause new trouble, we can let them leave the city with good reason.

This is a time to race against time.

Everyone enters level one combat readiness status!

Ye Xuan found a place away from surveillance and typed a few messages to the captain.

Alas, the person Lin Shi was looking for was obviously the "spy", so why did he have to act secretly?

Captain: The longer the night, the more trouble you may have. I will go and file a report now and try to conduct the outdoor test early tomorrow morning.

Captain: Could you and Qin personally look after the monitoring equipment? I don't have anyone I can trust right now.

In fact, the only person she could trust was the team member she had trained herself, but that person was not careful enough and might end up doing more harm than good by guarding the valuables, so it would be better for him to say some rude words in the treatment room.

Ye Xuan thought about it and replied to the other party, "I'll ask Xiao Qin."

There was nothing wrong with him, but he was worried that it was not good for the children to stay up late - it was not like watching over a device, so there was no need for both of them to stay up all night.

Ye Xuan briefly conveyed the captain's thoughts to Xiao Qin, concealed some of the inside information, and then expressed his own concerns.

He felt that no matter how good Xiao Qin was in his professional field, he was still a minor.

There was no need for a child to be involved in these things, and he had also concealed from Xiao Qin the fact that there was a traitor in the search team.

Xiao Qin: Senior, I can go. This equipment is also what I requested. I’m sorry to trouble you.

He is a very well-behaved and sensible child, which makes people feel a little distressed.

Ye Xuan naturally couldn't let Xiao Qin guard the equipment alone at night. Although Xiao Qin was good at martial arts, it was not safe for him to be alone in the middle of the night.

Night fell quickly, and the monitoring equipment that was finally obtained was placed in the corner of an office.

Ye Xuan was very satisfied with this location. In his eyes, this was a triangular area that was extremely safe even if an earthquake occurred.

The layout with two sides against the wall and no windows on the left and right eased his nerves.

When he first received the "mission" assigned by the captain, he thought he would have to guard the treasures in an empty exhibition hall like in the stories of strange thieves.

"Senior, is it okay to turn off the lights?" Although Xiao Qin was not afraid of the dark, the dark environment was obviously different from the guard he imagined.

"It's better to keep it closed," Ye Xing said. In the story he read, the guards were frightened when they suddenly found that the lights were off. "It's too obvious to leave it open. It's almost like hanging a banner at the door saying 'There are valuable instruments here, under guard.'"

Even if the light is on, there are thousands of ways to dim it, but if it is dim at the beginning, he can get used to it.

Xiao Qin knew that he didn't understand these things, so he thought what the senior said made sense and no longer worried about whether to turn on the light.

The instrument was hidden in the corner, and two people were blocking it behind. Unless the traitor was a skilled rat, he would not be able to touch the instrument so easily.

The ceiling of the search squad was tightly sealed, and there was no possibility of someone prying a piece open. Moreover, not only were there no windows on the walls, there were not even ventilation ducts or exhaust fans, eliminating all possibilities that Ye Xuan had seen in stories.

In this kind of environment, let alone someone trying to sabotage it, even if the monitoring equipment grew legs and wanted to run away, it would be unable to escape.

Ye Xuan was still confident about the task of supervision. His character this time was not simple. A few silver needles could make people unable to move. If someone caused trouble under his nose, he would definitely get into trouble.
